When it comes to foreign exchange, don’t pick your own bank by default

In this ever-changing world, Australian retail clients remain creatures of habit. While most of us know that banks like to charge a fee at every turn, we still don’t challenge them.

This is extremely evident when sending money overseas, where bank fees are not only exorbitant (in excess of 5.00%) but are mostly unclear and often unexpected.

While the comfort of relying on a long-term banking relationship outweighs the need to be price conscious and sensitive, don’t pick your own bank by default.

There are many non-bank foreign exchange service providers. Most offer a more or less convenient solution. And most of them aim to improve the pricing and fees associated with sending funds overseas.

But unfortunately, most have not really advanced the user experience, never mind put the consumer at the centre of their services.

We acknowledge that opening a new account with a bank alternate FX provider can create a bit of hassle, as you have to provide your driver license or passport.

But, depending on the size of your transfer amount, who would not want to save a multiple of $100 per transaction in the process?
